Trauma Or, Monsters All - Jennie Kermode - 20295
Larry Fessenden’s new horror‑drama Trauma Or, Monsters All reunites the werewolf, Frankenstein‑type and vampire characters from his earlier films in a single story set in the decaying town of Talbot Falls. The plot follows teenage journalist Cassandra, whose sensational article about a forgotten “werewolf incident” triggers chaos among the monsters and draws national attention. While the film blends dark humor, melancholy and supernatural absurdity, it also critiques how media labels individuals as “monsters.” Premiered at Overlook 2026, the movie earned praise for its empathetic tone and genre‑bending ambition.
